CHICAGO, Aug. 14-The twelfth Subsidi-

Foresters has concluded its labors here. In
the closing session the most important
question before the court was the
framing of an answer to the Su-
preme Court of ForeSters in England
Anent a cablegram received ordering the
admission of colored men into the associa-
ton. Gardner Washburn, chairman of the
committee appointed Tuesday last to con

this, the American branch, will not be

tooth and nail, and we warn the High Court
of England that if they continue to claim
powers not granted to them by the consti-
tuition wemay separate and sunder ourselves
from such supreme court as our fathers did
from the claiming English Ministry in
the reign of George ILL.," Several heated

bIuS COnS1QeroQ ana a DECISION
Reached as to the Awards.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-President Cleve-
land and Secretary Whitney have been en-
gagged this afternoon in considering the
bids for the new war ships and the result
will be announced tomorrow. 1t is well
understood that the decision will be to give
to the Messrs. Cramp, of Philadelphia, the
contract for the "Newark," for which
they were the only bidders, and also the
contract for one of the nineteen
knot cruisers at 81, $50, 900. This ship will
have the same hull as the Baltimore, now
building by the Cramps, and similar en-
gines. The rigging will be like that of the
Newark. The other nineteen knot
cruiser will be given to the
Union Iron Works of San Francisco,
at their bid of 81 ,42S, 900. The vessel is to
be built according to the plans prepared at

LUCE'S LETTER.
Compliance With the Request Not
Yet Decided Upon.

COmpIiance With the Request Not
Yet Decided Upon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Secretary Whit
ney has been out of town to-day, and it has
not been possible to secure official confrma-
tion of the report telegraphed last night
that Admiral Luce has asked to be relieved
from command of the North Atlantic
squadron. Such information as can be
gathered from other sources, however, is
entirely confirmatory, and leaves no doubt
that letter or dispatch of the purport
indicated has been received, and that the
Secretary has the matter under advisement.
Though there is much speculation as to the
probable successor to Admiral Luces COM
mand, it is believed that no one has yet been
designated and that it has not even been
determined to comply with the AdmiraIs
request.

celebration Of the peace established. In
the case where an Indian killed his squaw
at juneau recently, . lawyer Of that
place sought to have him set free by
writ Of hsbeas corpus, on the ground that
the culprit had rendered the murdered
woman's family the customary number
of blankets in payment for her murder.
The Judge did not take that view Of the
case.
Potlatch signifies . gift, but is used
to designate . feast, at which the prin.
cipal feature is the presentation of gifts
to all the guests. When an Indian be-
comes wealthy he builds himself q new
house. When this is finished he takes
all that he has remaining and invests It
in blankets, calicoes and similar goods.
He then invites his friends to q potlatch
or housewarming. After they have
feasted and danced for week the host
divides among his guests all of his worldly
possessions except his house and what
belongs to it. Instances have been known
where an Indian has thus given away
$5, 900 worth of goods. The one who
gives away most becomes the leading
man of the tribe. This appears to be
something like practical communism.
In their dances each dancer repre-
sents some bird or animal, the cry ant
actions of which he initiates. They
dance until exhausted and after res
begin again.
These Indians are braye people, hav
ing no fear of anything but witchcraf
and the supernatural. The TinnehS al
inland tribe, are tall, muscular people
and are great hunters. They think i

other fee he win make known the witch,
usually selecting some old woman,
who 10 ct once seized and borne on to be
tortured to death. There was recently
case in which the shaman in Hoochinoo
village accused an Indian workman at
juneau Of having bewitched sick man.
Having learned Of the accusation, and
knowing well its consequences, the poor
fellow attempted to commit suicide by
stabbing himself. His life was saved
under the care Of the surgeon on board
the United States revenue steamer.
Governor Swineford, upon hearing OF
the affair, went to the village with an
Indian policeman. The shsman defed
him, and said II he were molested
his spirits would strike the governor
dead. Undaunted by this invocation, the
governor ordered him arrested, and in
vited the Indians present to come down
to Juneau for the purpose of having
proved to them that their medicine-man
was an impostor. Upon the appointed
day several hundred Indians put in an
appearance and witnessed the shaman's
head shorn of its sacred locks. After
his head had been closely shaved 1t was
covered with liberal coat of red paint
So crestfallen was the great medicine
man that he openly acknowledged him
self an impostor and has never yet re
turned to his village. The result ha'

CALILEE TODAY.


How the Famous Lake Of Scripture kos1D
In the Present Century.
The lake, with its glittering crystal and
fringe Of lowering oleanders, through
whose green leaves the kingnsher may
be seen in multitudes dashing down q
the fish that glance beneath them-lies
at the bottom Of great dent or basin IN
the earth's surface, more than 500 fest
below the level of the Mediterranean.
Hence the burning and enervating heat
of the valley; but hence, too, the variety
Of its foliage, the fertility Of its soil, the
luxuriance of its fora, the abundant har-
vests that ripen amonth earlier than they
do elsewhere, and the number Of rivulets
that tumble down the hill-sides into the
lake. The shores are now deserted. With
the exception Of the small and decaying
town Of Tiberias- crumbling into the
last stage of decrepitude-and the
"frightful village" of Mejdel (the ancient
Magdela), where the degradation Of the
inhabitants is best shown by the fact that
the children play stark naked In the
street-there is not q single inhabited
spot on IT'S once crowded shores.
One miserable, crazy boat-and that
not always procurable-has replaced it,
gay and numerous fleet. As the fish are
still abundant, no fact could show more
clearly the detected inaninity and spa-
thetic enervation of the present dwellers
upon it's shores. But the natural features
still remain. The lake still lies unchanged
in the bosom of the hills, rejecting every
varying CLEAN of the atmosphere like an
opal set in emeralds; the waters are still
as beautiful in their clearness a. whom
the boat Of Peter lay rocking ON their
| ripples and Jesus gazed into their crystal
depths; the cup-like basin seems to over
flow with its food of sunlight: the air ID
still balmy with natural perfumes; the
turtle dove still murmurs in the valleys,
| and the pelican fishes in the waves and
there are palms and green fields, and
streams, and gray heaps of ruins. And
what it has lost in population and ac-
tivity it has gained in solemnity and
interest. If every vestige of human hab-
itation should disappear from beside 1t,
and the jackal and hyena should howl
about the shattered fragments Of the
synagogues where once Christ taught
yet the fact that He chose it as the scene
of his opening ministry will give sense
of sacredness and pathos to its lonely
waters till time shall be no more.-E1
